Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III Chapter 039

After Liu Chuan succeeded to the throne as emperor of the Germanic Empire, the entire empire began to slowly change, and even gradually deviated from the track of history.

The wheel of history has gone a fork in the road this year.

The Germanic Imperial Navy, which stopped the construction of the ‘Braunschweig-class’ battleships and the ‘German-class’ battleships. Even the completion of the five ‘Braunschweig-class’ battleships is already very high. However, all ten unfinished battleships were stopped and will be dismantled. The disassembled steel plates and other materials will be reproduced or used in the construction of new warships.

At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Navy began to demonstrate the ‘Nassau-class’ battleships designed by Liu Chuan, and actively organized forces to overcome the problems that would be encountered in building the ‘Nassau-class’ battleships.

In addition, design demonstrations of A-class destroyers, American Eagle-class light cruisers and Constellation-class heavy cruisers will soon begin. Once the argument is passed and the problem can be solved, the shipyards of the German Imperial Navy will start building these warships.

In addition, at Liu Chuan’s request, the Germanic Imperial Navy has increased its attention to submarines.

Soon, the Germanic Imperial Navy would move in another direction.

The Germanic Imperial Army also began to reorganize according to Liu Chuan’s requirements, install new weapons, and form new infantry divisions.

There is no doubt that the reorganization of the huge Germanic Imperial Army was a very large undertaking. Even for the Germanic Empire, it would take two or three years to complete. Coupled with the need for training and running-in for new troops, I am afraid that the Germanic Empire will not be able to send troops to fight in a short period of time.

At the same time, the Germanic Empire also began to improve the mobilization system, accelerate the speed of mobilization response, and ensure that the future Germanic Empire can mobilize extremely powerful forces in a short period of time after the outbreak of the war, so that the Germanic Empire can gain a huge advantage in the early stage of the war.

The cabinet government of the Germanic Empire also began to increase investment in the construction of transportation facilities and people’s livelihood.

The total railway mileage of the Germanic Empire, although not as good as that of the Russian Empire. However, the density of railways is definitely the highest in the world. This made transportation in the Germanic Empire very convenient and fast.

Further increasing the construction and investment of transportation facilities can not only accelerate economic development. At the same time, it can also move troops and war materials faster in war. Ensure that the Germanic Empire can react in time after the outbreak of war.

The German Empire’s national strategic reserves also began in secret, and they would place orders around the world through private companies for the purchase of grain, oil, steel, rubber, copper ore and other rare metals. And gradually increase the order volume. A considerable part of it will be stocked up in case of emergency.

At the same time, the Germanic Empire even promulgated a system of rewarding births, calling on the people of the empire to have more children for the sake of the empire and the entire Germanic nation, so that the empire could become more powerful.

In terms of industrial output, the Germanic Empire has become the second largest power in the world and the first in Europe after the lighthouse country.

As an emerging power, it naturally poses a great threat to the established power.

In particular, the rise of the Germanic Empire can be described as stepping on the shoulders of the Gallic state. This also made other old powers extra wary of the Germanic Empire.

In particular, the Sun Never Sets Empire, as the world hegemon, felt the threat of the Germanic Empire.

Therefore, while the Germanic Empire was vigorously developing its navy, the Sunless Empire was also vigorously developing its navy.

The number of capital ships of the Royal Navy has always remained more than twice that of the capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

This gives the Royal Navy of the Empire an absolute advantage.

As a result, they were not afraid of the challenges of the Germanic Empire and even other countries.

However, the Sun Never Sets Empire is constantly declining, and their strength is completely based on the deep heritage left by hundreds of years of hegemony and the exploitation of vast overseas colonies.

Such a strong is undoubtedly difficult to last.

The strength of the Germanic Empire is the foundation of its continued strength.

And this will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to the Sun Never Set Empire.

The sudden death of the aggressive Wilhelm II made the high-ranking officials of the empire breathe a sigh of relief.

The newly enthroned emperor, although luck seems to be good. But, after all, it is too young. This also made the high-level of the Sun Never Set Empire believe that it would be difficult for the Germanic Empire to maintain its rapid development momentum. In this way, it will no longer pose much threat to the Sun Never Set Empire.

In particular, Liu Chuan’s invitation to stop the construction of the ‘Braunschweig-class’ battleships and the ‘German-class’ battleships made the high-level officials of the Sun Never Set Empire applaud. It seems that they finally don’t have to worry about being overtaken by the Germanic Empire and can finally get a good night’s sleep.
